ELECTRIC, a Workshop with Apparatjik

From 23th to 27th of May 2011, Sonice Development was invited to join the workshop ‘ELECTRIC’ at Burg Giebichenstein, University of Art and Design in Halle. An amazing recipy for 5 days: car-parts, the band Apparatjik, SOME art-design-magazine, Proessor Sven Voelker, a handful of extremly motivated students and us. Alltogether we were looking for an interpretation of Moholy Nagy’s artwork ‘Light-Space-Modulator’. Professor Sven Voelker and his Students release the SOME-Magazine twice a year. The next issue will deal with the topic ‘ELECTRIC’ and show the workshop and it’s results. Here you see a preview.

Magne Furholmen and Jonas Bjerre from Apparatjik gave a short lecture on the first day. Reporting about their ways of working together as a band, about their gig at Neue Nationalgallerie Berlin and about quantum physics.

Brainstorming, discussing, trying out and finally choosing the ways to go: We´ll build a rotopainter, a water-light-experiment-box, a complex shadow arrangement of car-parts and some poems.

‘Electric Dream’. “We’ll be together– together in electric dreams.”, quote taken from the movie-picture ‘Bladerunner’. Machine-parts having the ambition of being beautiful and human.

‘Multi Aqua Dimensionator’ a kinetic Light-Sculpure after Moholy-Nagy’s Light-Space-Modulator. The sculpture, its shadow and and its reflection show a synchronised multiplication of the moving water. Like a magnifier it gives us the chance to see.

Thank you everybody for the good times!
